[Hoary] Syanptic, console debconf errors

[Eric Dunbar]

Hello all, when I use Synaptic to do a dist-upgrade (I presume that's
what it's doing), the console outputs the following 'error' quite
frequently:

debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Gnome
debconf: (Unable to load Gnome -- is libgnome2-perl installed?)
debconf: falling back to frontend: Dialog

Hmm. I'll try installing libgnome2-perl.

But, if this is an error that was missed somehow through all the
automagic upgrades, perhaps the package maintainers might want to
check and see if it's supposed to be automagically sent as a
dist-upgrade?

Eric.
